Childbirth Education: Knowledge is Power 🧠✨
One of the best things you can do to prepare for birth? Take a comprehensive childbirth education class.
Whether you’re planning a home birth, birth center birth, or hospital birth. Having a solid foundation of knowledge makes a world of difference. Classes aren’t just about how to push (though you’ll learn that too).They’re about understanding the entire process, making informed decisions, and feeling confident in your body and your choices.
📚 Learn what’s normal in labor
💬 Understand your options and rights
🤝 Build trust with your support team
🛠️ Practice comfort measures and coping tools
📍 Prepare specifically for your planned place of birth
We highly encourage every pregnant person to take a class that aligns with their birth setting. A class designed for hospital birth will look very different from one created for an out-of-hospital birth, and both are important in their own right.
Birth is transformative. Walk into it with confidence, preparation, and support.

We are offering a natural childbirth crash course June 27th 10am-4pm!
We encourage you to bring lunch as we will take a break to eat.

Midwifery is built on trust, time, and relationship. It’s not rushed visits or one-size-fits-all care, it’s sitting with families, listening, educating, and walking with them through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

This work is both clinical and deeply human. It requires skill, discernment, and a commitment to seeing each client as an individual.

We’re grateful to serve the families in our community and to be part of a profession that continues to advocate for thoughtful, respectful, and evidence-based care.
And to our clients, thank you for allowing us into such an important part of your lives.

Happy International Day of the Midwife to all of the midwives out there walking alongside so many growing families. 💜

If you’re noticing extra shedding after birth… you’re not alone.

✨ What’s happening?
During pregnancy, hormones keep hair in a “growth phase,” so shedding slows down. After birth, hormone levels drop and that extra hair starts to shed all at once.

📉 What’s normal?
• Starts around 2–4 months postpartum
• Can last until about 6–12 months postpartum
• Noticeable shedding in the shower, brush, or on pillows
• Thinning around the hairline or temples

💡 Good news:
It’s usually temporary and most hair regrows as your cycle normalizes.

🌿 What can help:
• Gentle brushing + low-tension hairstyles
• Eating nutrient-rich foods (iron, protein, vitamins)
• Being kind to your hair (skip tight ponytails & heavy heat styling)
• Patience — regrowth takes time

🚩 When to check in with a provider:
• Hair loss feels extreme or patchy
• Lasts longer than ~12 months
• You have other symptoms like fatigue or dizziness

🤍 Reminder:
This phase is common, hormonal, and usually reversible — even though it can feel alarming.
You’re not doing anything wrong. Your body is just recalibrating 💛

Whether you’re exclusively pumping or just building a stash, having the right tools makes all the difference.

💡 Must-haves:
• Breast pump (double electric = time saver 🙌)
• Extra pump parts (fl**ges, valves, membranes)
• Milk storage bags or bottles
• Hands-free pumping bra
• Ni**le cream or balm
• Bottle brush + sterilizer

✨ Nice-to-haves:
• Portable/wearable pump for on-the-go
• Milk collector (like a silicone catcher)
• Cooler bag + ice packs
• Drying rack
• Lactation massager

💛 Pro tip:
Order multiple fl**ge sizes—fit = comfort + better output!
Pumping doesn’t have to be overwhelming—set yourself up for success early 👏
Save this for your registry & share with a mama-to-be 🤍

Planning an unmedicated birth? Preparation is everything.

✨ Here’s how to get ready:
• Educate yourself – Take a birth class + learn what to expect
• Practice coping techniques – Breathing, movement, visualization
• Build your support team – Partner, doula, provider who align with your goals
• Create a flexible birth plan – Know your preferences, stay open
• Stay active – Walking, stretching, prenatal yoga
• Prepare your mind – Confidence, mindset, and trust in your body

💡 Bonus tips:
• Practice labor positions ahead of time
• Set up a calm birth environment (music, lighting, comfort items)
• Talk through your plan with your partner so they feel ready too

✨ Remember: “Natural” doesn’t mean perfect, it means supported, informed, and empowered.
You’ve got this 💛
Save this for later & share with a mama-to-be 🤍

How doulas support your partner during birth 🤍
Birth isn’t just intense for the person giving birth—partners feel it too. That’s where a doula makes a big difference.

✨ For your partner, a doula:
• Offers guidance so they know how to help (no guessing or stress)
• Provides reassurance and keeps them calm in emotional moments
• Suggests hands-on ways to support you (massage, positioning, breathing)
• Gives them breaks without leaving you unsupported
• Helps them understand what’s happening every step of the way

💡 The result?
Your partner feels confident, involved, and connected—instead of overwhelmed.
A doula doesn’t replace your partner…
They support them, so they can better support you.
Because birth is a team effort 🤍

Episiotomies: how common are they today? 🤰
They used to be routine, but not anymore.

✨ Then:
Episiotomies were performed in most vaginal births.

✨ Now:
Only about 5–12% of vaginal deliveries in the U.S. involve one.

Why the shift?
Research showed they don’t prevent serious tearing like once believed—and can sometimes lead to longer healing and more discomfort.

💡 Today, they’re used only when needed, like:
• Baby needs to be delivered quickly
• Assisted delivery (forceps/vacuum)
• Concern about severe tearing

Bottom line:
Episiotomies are no longer routine, just one of many tools used when medically necessary.

🤰 Foods to Avoid or Limit During Pr
Eating well during pregnancy helps support your baby’s growth and your health. While most foods are safe, some should be avoided or eaten with caution.

🚫 Foods to Avoid:
• Raw or undercooked meat, poultry, or seafood
• Raw fish like sushi or sashimi
• Unpasteurized milk, juices, or cheeses
• Deli meats and hot dogs unless heated until steaming
• High-mercury fish (such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel)
• Alcohol

⚠️ Foods to Consume with Caution:
• Caffeine (limit to about 200 mg per day)
• Certain fish – choose low-mercury options like salmon, shrimp, and tilapia
• Liver or liver products (very high in vitamin A)
• Herbal teas or supplements without medical guidance

🥗 Focus on:
Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, dairy, and plenty of water to help nourish you and your growing baby.

Always talk with your healthcare provider about what’s best for you during pregnancy. 💛

✨ How to Use a Haakaa Breast Pump ✨

If you’re breastfeeding and want an easy way to collect extra milk, a Haakaa pump can be a game changer!

Here’s a quick guide on how to use it:
1️⃣ Clean first – Wash and sterilize your Haakaa pump before the first use.
2️⃣ Fold the fl**ge – Gently fold back the top rim of the pump.
3️⃣ Position on breast – Place the fl**ge over your ni**le so it’s centered.
4️⃣ Create suction – Squeeze the base of the pump, then flip the fl**ge back to create a strong suction seal.
5️⃣ Let it collect milk – While baby feeds on the other side, the Haakaa naturally collects let-down milk.
6️⃣ Remove carefully – Gently break the suction with your finger before removing.

💡 Pro tip: Use it on the opposite breast while nursing to save milk that would otherwise leak!
